So i made a course a while back to ride to test the power of my bike vs me running. its a 2.5 mile course and it has a nice hilly bit.
Initially:
i ran it in 21 minutes
i biked in about 11 minutes ~13mph average
i rode my 50cc in about 7 minutes ~20mph(normal campus speed limit)
i rode my 66cc arrow in 6 minutes ~ 25mph

edit: i biked it again on a regular bike with slicks in 9:30 which is 15.7 mph.
i think my first time was a pretty leisurely pace

Thats cool! I think a test run thread would be great.

My test run is a bruiser and really makes sure everything is running properly;
Its the semi-famous twin peaks road in san francisco:

They are pretty much the highest point in the city and its a ~2000 foot climb to the top from my house with varying grade.
 
Well, I,ll tell you one thing, you won't see me running any of my courses!
And it's not just because of my aging 43 year old knees.
I'm more of a walker (not with one) or a hiker.

You should have seen the sand hill in the pit here I tried to get up (about 35±40Degrees), I would have made it if it wasn't for the sand, I mostly aborted the climb because this is stressful to the motor and driver chain ;)

I'd post a pic, but with this tablet it would take me 3 days.
